How to Make Asian Citrus Salad

  1. **Make the Dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey/maple syrup, sesame oil, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  2. **Prepare the Citrus:** Slice off the top and bottom of the oranges and grapefruit. Stand the fruit upright and use a sharp knife to remove the peel and white pith.
  3. **Segment the Citrus:** Carefully cut between the membranes to remove the segments, placing them in a large bowl.
  4. **Combine Salad Ingredients:** Add the arugula, shallot, and mint to the bowl with the citrus segments. Toss gently to combine.
  5. **Dress the Salad:** Pour the dressing over the salad and toss lightly to coat evenly.
  6. **Garnish and Serve:** Sprinkle with toasted nuts and sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
